Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (24 cm) round cake pan.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture turns pale, creamy, and fluffy.
- 3
Gradually sift in the flour, folding gently and continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- 4
Pour in the warm milk, add the pinch of salt and melted butter, then beat until you get a smooth, even batter.
- 5
Gently fold in the baking powder with a spatula using circular motions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- 6
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 7
Cool for 10 minutes before unmolding. Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar.
💡 Chef's Tip
Room-temperature eggs and milk make the batter fluffier. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest for extra fragrance.
